istio-ingress can't start up - kubectl

Question

When I start minikube and apply istio.yaml
bug the ingress can't start up:
eumji#eumji:~$ kubectl get pods -n istio-system
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
istio-ca-76dddbd695-bdwm9 1/1 Running 5 2d
istio-ingress-85fb769c4d-qtbcx 0/1 CrashLoopBackOff 67 2d
istio-mixer-587fd4bbdb-ldvhb 3/3 Running 15 2d
istio-pilot-7db8db896c-9znqj 2/2 Running 10 2d
When I try to see the log I get following output:
eumji#eumji:~$ kubectl logs -f istio-ingress-85fb769c4d-qtbcx -n istio-system

What could be the reason?

Answer 1

There is not enough information in your post to figure out what may be wrong, in particular it seems that somehow your ingress isn't able to resolve istio-mixer which is unexpected.
Can you file a detailed issue
https://github.com/istio/issues/issues/new
And we can take it from there ?
Thanks

Are you using something like minikube? The quick-start docs give this hint: "Note: If your cluster is running in an environment that does not support an external load balancer (e.g., minikube), the EXTERNAL-IP of istio-ingress says . You must access the application using the service NodePort, or use port-forwarding instead."
